When his hand rested on the Green pillar, something pulled at him, and his surroundings grew dark. They were pleasant and warm now, with something moving underneath him. He felt a heavy hand on his shoulders.
With a jolt he awoke, to laughter, and a comment about falling asleep. Guess he had. He grinned brightly at the shadow people and their mounts, and then saw that they were indeed reaching the building.
It was an interesting building, with worn down figures decorating it, and looking as if it had been carved out of the cliffside. Or built against it. It was hard to tell which.
He glanced around at his companions all seven of them, and he remember setting off with them, all unified to a single goal. The something at the end of the map. The map that.. It made his brain hurt. It was their map, and they were following it.
A shout rang out, and an arrow shot into the shadowperson next to him. One of the others shouted "Take cover."
Character name: Ilztmyr'ree Character appearance: He is short and slender, with pointed ears. He is wearing a hoodie and a pair of black jeans. There is a shining white skull pin pinned to his pants, and a spear weapon slung across his back. There is also a necklace with a lock on it around his neck.

He slid off his mount, and moved, taking cover. There must be a few out there, waiting with arrows, and he could hear some of them searching on foot.
He watched their companion fade away, knowing that there hadn't been time to even try to save them. There would be time to do rites later, in memory of them, but right now, they had to survive.
He needed to get out of there.
He attempted to sneak, but was spotted. He pulled his spear, ready to attack.
With a thud and a clank, the shadow Knight readies its blade. It says nothing, but it doesn't need to. Not when it is fighting with murderous intent!

And attack he did. The knight charged at him, but Myr was ready. He jabbed his spear into the knight as he passed, striking him.

He was a tricky knight, very evasive, and he kept moving out of the way as Myr attempted to attack. He was eventually successful, but it wasn't a very good hit.

He was very fond of fighting, and he stabbed at the Knight once more. He didn't escape unscathed, but a hit was a hit. He could take the pain, and afterwards, then he could worry about his injuries.

This time, he caught the knight before he had a chance to move, noticing that it seemed to be moving a bit slower. Good.

He rolled, and then stabbed, his spear catching the knight in a weak spot of the armor. It was a good strike, even if it did leave him open to its next attack.

That last attack from the knight had been a bit much, but he still managed to stab it. It wasn't a very good hit, but it was better than nothing.

With the last hit, the knight went down, and Myr raised his spear up, in victory. Around him, he could see his companions, all still in one piece, injuries minor.

The knight had dropped something, and he quickly picked it up, stashing it in his pack.
"Come on, guys," he said, motioning towards his travelling companions. "Let's head on in." There was nothing else that tried to stop them, and they made their way inside.
There was a fountain, and they took a moment to drink, and clean up from their battle.
Now refreshed, they continued on, coming to a long plain hallway. James held up his hand. "Wait."
He picked up a pebble and tossed it down, activating the traps. "That's what I thought. We're going to have to be very careful making our way across."
Myr nodded. It seemed as if it was the only way forward, and he stepped into the hallway carefully. He avoided the spears jutting up from the floor, but not the arrows from the wall. He narrowly escaping getting smashed by falling rocks, and the opening in the floor, but didn't quite make it past another set of arrows, and the final set of spears.
He had gotten through though, and so did the others. Good enough.
There was no place to rest and heal, but they had come to a large room. It was filled with tiles that had different pictures on each. Like before, James tossed a rock out, only for it to land on a tile and be obliterated by a pillar of fire.
"Guess we should avoid that one," Sarmond joked.
James glared at him, and the male shut up.
Myr sighed. What ever was at the end of this had better be worth it.
The Gauntlet pt 3 - Mystic Tiles Starting/Current HP: 25/40 Ending HP: 20hp The rolls:
The tile you step on gives way under your feet... and nothing happens. As you step on this tile, something wet sprinkles on you from above. Whatever it was, you feel better. Recover 15 HP. A tower of flame shoots up from the tile, badly burning you. Take 10 damage. CLANG! Something hard and heavy falls from the ceiling. You forget something. You activate a trap. Take 5 damage. You activate a trap. Take 3 damage. A companion reaches out and pulls you to safety! Nothing happens. As you step onto the tile, you are filled with a feeling of... elation...? Recover all HP. A companion reaches out and pulls you to safety, taking your place! Except... they're gone. Lose a companion. CRUNCH. You can still hear your companion's screams of pain as they suffer heavy damage. Take 50% HP loss (ie if you are 30/40, take 15 damage).
They began, and the first tile he jumped to shot a spear up, stabbing him in the leg. A bit further up and it would have really hurt, but even without that, this was going to make things a little more difficult. [5 HP Lost]
He had to keep moving though.
He jumped to another tile, and something hard fell on his head. For a moment, everything blacked out, but when he came back to, he was still standing. But he had forgotten something. [Forgotten Destructive Memory]
He stepped on another tile, and James reached over, pulling him from where arrows were about to strike him. "Thanks."
"No problem kid."
They went their seperate ways, and he leapt onto another tile that dropped something hard on his head. He blacked out again, briefly, and once more he felt as if he had forgotten something. Hopefully it wasn't important. [Forgot another memory]
He continued, and then finally, Sarmond grabbed him, pulling him out of the way of a fire tower, pulling him to safety. They had all made it across.
And now, they were in a circular room, filled with shelves full of goblets, and a fountain in the center. He needed a goblet, to drink from it, but before he had a chance to set forward, a shadowy javelin landed in front of him. It was obvious that the thrower had missed on purpose.
The room shook as the Guardian strode into the light. His head was held high, and he held another javelin ready to throw. "HALT. YOU SHALL NOT PASS."
Myr pulled out his spear. He had to pass, the goblets were calling him.
Sarmond moved closer, his eyes serious for once. "Let me heal you," he muttered softly, placing himself in the way of Myr's lance. He nodded. "Sorry."
"Don't be."
Myr pushed it forward, sacrificing his travelling companion, feeling himself healing, becoming stronger. "Your sacrifice will not be in vain."

He fought, and the guardian only stood still, his javelin moving only to knock Myr back. "Oh, come on."

He adjusted his grip on the spear, and then charged in. He manage to get a hit in, and then jumped back. He wasn't quite fast enough to evade the guardians attack, but it wasn't too bad of a hit.
